Alphabet Letter H Hare Preschool Lesson Plan Printable Activities and Worksheets

The hare is a small mammal with long ears. Hares are large rabbits with very strong back legs used for jumping and running. Hares are swift, shy, and have black markings in their fur. Baby hares are called leverets.

For a fun presentation consider using the matching hare paper bag puppet craft as an "assistant" and review some basic animal facts.
